Origin

The Multiverse

Inside the DC Comics mythology, the sci-fi concept of alternate realities existing as parallel earths has been one of the main characteristics of their superhero universe since the silver age. With an infinite number of similar looking universes than resemble the main universe, the idea of Multiverse is a foundation concept not only in DC Comics but for the whole superhero genre.

Creation

Universe Evolution

Pre-Crisis / The Multiverse (1961-1986)

Pre-Crisis - The Multiverse

Before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, there were many (hence "infinite") versions of the Earth scattered throughout the Multiverse. The DC Multiverse officially first appeared in The Flash #123 when Barry Allen (Flash) found himself in another universe that was separated from his own by being on a different vibration frequency.

This world came to be known as Earth-Two and was populated by the heroes of the "Golden Age" of comics (the 40's and 50's). After this, more worlds were found, and then even more, until finally DC decided it was time to put an end to the expansion of the Multiverse. As was mentioned before, the other worlds were destroyed during the Crisis, but here is a list of the known Earth's before they were lost.

Post-Crisis / DC Universe (1986-2006)

Post-Crisis - DC Universe

During the period than the DC was reduced to one clustered universe, embers of the previous reality popped once and again in different titles by different writers, always searching a way to bring back the old multiverse in some fashion, but never calling them as parallel earths. Such is the case of the Second Crisis from Grant Morrison in Animal Man, Mark Waid in The Kingdom, Jeph Loeb in Superman/Batman. During this age, the alternative stories were dubbed Elseworlds, such as "Batman: Gotham by Gaslight" and "Superman: Red Son", with some of them later becoming official alternate universes.

Based on the Pre-Crisis Earth-Three, this Earth is home to the Crime Society of America, a team of evil counterparts of the Justice Society of America.

Post-Flashpoint / The Multiverse (2011-forward)

Post-Flashpoint - The Multiverse

The New 52 Multiverse is being explored in Multiversity. Although works similar to previous incarnations (by the earths occupying the same space but vibrating differently), there is a map showing the nature of the multiverse with worlds occupying specific zones divided by axis Order-Chaos & Pinnacle&Pit , which describes the nature of each earth.

Another characteristic of this multiverse is that every earth works as a physical and thematic opposition to the other located in the reverse position. Using the order/chaos & Pinnacle/Pit as overlapping coordinates and the house of heroes as axis, earth-0 is opposed to earth-33, earth-1 is opposed to earth-13, earth-2 is opposed to earth-3 , earth-4 is opposed to earth-42 and so.

The nature of the oppositions can vary: from the obvious (as in earth-20/earth-40, heroes and villains from pulp worlds) to the meta-textual (earth-6/earth-51, Stan Lee created world and Jack Kirby created world); similarities (earth 15/earth 17, both destroyed earths); differences (earth-4, a mature serious inspired take on superheroes and earth-42, a kid friendly and funny take on the characters); common origin (earth-12/earth-50, both alternate universes from the DCAU); subtle (earth-23/earth-41, both based in different kind of diversities); or not to be clear enough (earth-8/earth-44).

The new structure include several orbits and axis, including zones unofficial known as the Other worlds, the Cartoon Rim, the M***** Binary, the Brightlands, the Gloaming, the totalitarian Pairing and others areas still to be determinate.

Major Story Arcs

Pre-Crisis / The Multiverse:

Flash of two worlds

Flash of two worlds

It began with the team-up of the original Flash Jay Garrick and the Silver Age Flash Barry Allen in the now famous Flash of two worlds story. To explain the existence of both characters, Gardner Fox created the concept of Multiverse, as both characters were the Flash from different earths. Later the JSA and the JLA would work together in what would convert in a traditional reunion. Using this tool, DC recovered the previous incarnations o the characters.

The multiverse would be used (and abused) to introduce characters from different editorial acquired by DC (like Fawcett, Quality and Charlton characters) or just to try different stories outside the continuity (imaginary stories as the Superman red and Superman blue) and explain contradictions (Kamandi and Batman encounters, or the introduction of earth-2 Superman, among others).

Post-Crisis / DC Universe:

Crisis of Infinite Earths: the Cluster earth

The Multiverse concept would be abandoned after the celebrated Crisis on Infinite Earths for almost twenty years. The characters from different earths now lived together in a clustered earth and changed a lot of concepts (like Superman being the first Superhero of the world), but introduced others new (the legacy hero concept).

Despite that, the alternate universe continued popping in some fashion or other with Elseworlds tales, imaginary stories, alternate timelines or dreamed realities, with a lot of them resembling previous alternate worlds.

Hypertime

One prominent effort to do that was the creation of Hypertime by writers Grant Morrison and Mark Waid, whom wanted to use the successfully Elseworld Kingdom Come as an starting point to bring back the alternate earths and the multiverse but their efforts didn't thrive and the hypertime concept wasn't used beyond some efforts.

Post-52 Weeks / The Multiverse:

Infinite Crisis and 52 Weeks: The return of the multiple earths

It was Geoff Johns with Infinity Crisis who brought back a glimpse of the previous Multiverse before along with Waid, Morrison and Greg Rucka in the weekly 52 brought the concept back in proper fashion, with a multiverse of 52 unexplored universes than resembled strongly the original one from before the crisis but included others as the Kingdom Come earth, the Wildstorm universe and the Tangent line.

During this age multiple earths would be explored and would be used in different stories, as also was hinted the presence of people of other earths living among the characters of the main earth.

Post-Flashpoint / The Multiverse:

Flashpoint

However, a new reboot caused after Flashpoint, dubbed the New52 changed the multiverse yet again: this time the main earth (re-branded as Prime Earth by Dan DiDio, DC co-publisher) included the characteristics of the Wildstorm Universe and Vertigo characters. Also Earth 2 was radically different, with some of the Golden Age characters transformed into a younger generation of heroes in a world in war against Apokolips. Also, now Apokolips and New Genesis exists outside the Orrery of Worlds which contains the 52 known universes

However the multiverse still has a stronger presence with characters from other universes making pivotal appearances as last seen in Forever Evil.

Multiversity

A more deep exploration of the multiverse has been provided by Grant Morrison in his series Multiversity. The 52 universes are pretty much similar to their previous incarnation but they have key differences (i.e. the previous version of Earth-40 Pre-Flashpoint, a world of WW2 super agents, is different from the New 52 Earth 40, a world of pulp super-villains).

Convergence

During Convergence, several cities from previous multiverses appeared briefly before being send again to their proper realities. However is implied than the effects of this action in some way affected the multiverse, making it again infinite in the number of earths. However the status of the present existent earths was kept unchanged.

Dark Nights Metal

A new mystery related to the multiverse has been revealed in Dark Nights Metal. When the Justice League investigated the appearance of a mountain in Gotham City, the Blackhawk Squadron explained to the existence of a "Dark Multiverse", which is the origin of the mythic Nth Metal of Hawkman. Barbatos, the dark dragon ruling this multiverse, tried and failed to pull the positive matter Multiverse into the dark. Though stopping Barbatos had no known effect on any universes beyond Earth 0, the Justice League's efforts accidentally punched a hole in the Source Wall, exposing the universe to new threats from beyond the Wall's borders and creating new dangers within their universe.

Games

Infinite Crisis: Fight for the multiverse

As part of promotion of the game Infinite Crisis, DC launched a digital first comic initiative based on the game and scripted by Andy Lanning. The story take the champions from different universes and put them together to fight an unknown menace. The description of some of the universe are similar yet not the same as the post-Flashpoint multiverse.

Earth-0: Prime Universe

This is the equivalent to Prime earth in the actual DC comics, where its champions (mostly) resembles the new52 version of the characters. Exceptions are Robin, Harley Quinn and Doomsday.

The Shadow League, a cabal of twisted sorcerers, lusted for absolute rule over Earth. Blinded by ambition, they performed a ritual that extinguished the Sun. With eternal night blanketing the Earth, the world's most powerful magicians united to reignite the Sun, but its new arcane heart forever altered life on Earth. Heroes and villains have since adapted to their magically infused environment, developing strange new abilities. This world was only hinted in the pre-Flashpoint list, but was never developed.

As the Cold War was brewing between the world’s superpowers, a mysterious object from space crashed into Kansas. Mistaking the crash for a first strike, the United States unleashed its full nuclear arsenal against the Soviet Union, who retaliated. The ensuing nuclear war instantly vaporized 97% of all life Earth. The survivors hope the Earth can be healed, but the nuclear aftermath has left them with scars that never will. this world is based on earth-17 from pre Flashpoint list, the home of the Atomic Knights after the great disaster.

The Victorian era has swept the Earth and a prosperous Age of Invention has revolutionized society through powerful steam technology, and this amazing progress is only the beginning. Heroes and villains have begun to emerge from all corners of society, and with them bring new sources of power and problems far stranger than steam and gas lights. This world is based in Batman: Gotham by Gaslight and earth-19 from pre Flashpoint list.

Tales of horrors prowling the night were once just legends on this Earth - until the darkness returned. Ancient and terrible powers beyond comprehension awoke and brought with them an army of monsters. In fighting these creatures, some heroes have fallen, twisting into monsters themselves. Heroes and villains have set aside old rivalries and are united in fighting darkness that threatens to engulf their world forever. This world is based in the Batman: blood rain series, the earth-43 from pre Flashpoint list.

In this universe, there were no heroes, until a league of scientists known as the Justice Consortium created them. Technology had always been advanced on this Earth, but these new robotic creations were able to think and feel, and wielded powers beyond anything yet seen. They now defend the Earth from threats within and beyond, particularly the Doom Legion and their villainous assassin bots. This world is based in the one panel mention of the metal men from earth 44 as told in Final Crisis #7.
